Knee joint is a compound joint, which is structured by multiple bones and covered by a knee cap (patella). As every joint it has connections of ligaments, attachment of muscle tendons, capsular protection, lubrication by synovial fluid and cushioning by meniscus. This joint is structured complex and strong since it has much functional responsibility.

These can be compared to the mobile pillars of body. It supports your body weight and enables all your motions.

Disorders of knee joint is mainly connected with sports injury, elderly medicine, nutritional defects and overweight.

Knee injury

Injury to the bones of the knee joint can cause moderate to extreme pain, depending on the severity of the bruise or fracture. Considering how integral the knee joint is to movement, injury to these bones may also cause reduced mobility during the healing process. Injuries to the leg bones are most common in contact sports such as football, hockey, cricket.

Meniscus damage
The meniscus is a c-shaped pad of cartilage that separates the tibia and the femur and provides cushion and stability. It can be damaged in a single traumatic injury or degrade over time through mini-traumas. People who are older, who run on uneven surfaces, or who make sudden turns and hard stops (e.g. Soccer players) are at the greatest risk for damage to the meniscus.

Knee osteoarthritis

Injuries to the knee can also occur as a result of aging and normal degradation of the body

• Osteoarthritis. This is the most common diagnosis in all of medicine. This form of arthritis is very common, and occurs when the hyaline articular cartilage wears away from the ends of a bone. Without the cushioning provided by that cartilage, the bones of the knee joint can rub together during motion and cause pain within the joint.

Achy, stiff, and possibly swollen knees may be signs of osteoarthritis. Experts debate whether or not regular running for exercise causes knee osteoarthritis.

Some experts argue that running does not cause knee osteoarthritis, but that people who already have knee osteoarthritis may accelerate the wear-and-tear on their knee joint by running regularly. Many health advocates assert that running regularly for exercise provides other health benefits, such as weight control, that outweigh potential arthritic damage to the knees.

Overweight

The knees experience pressure equal to approximately 3 times the body’s weight when walking and approximately 5 times the body’s weight when running. In other words, a person who weighs 70 kgs puts about 350 kgs of pressure on the knee when landing each running stride.

Other conditions:

• Gout. This condition arises from high uric acid levels within the body and results in inflammation and deposition of uric acid crystals within the synovium (joint capsule). This results in knee stiffness and pain within the knee joint. Gout pain typically comes on quickly, and can become severe in a matter of hours.
• Pseudogout. Similar to gout, pseudogout causes sudden and severe inflammation and pain in the affected joint. Pseudogout results in calcium pyrophosphate deposition within the synovium (joint capsule).
• Vitamin d and calcium deficiency can affect the knee joint.

Ayurveda:

Ayurveda calls knee joint as Janu Sandhi. It is a vital spot (Marma) which by its injury causes morbidity. The structure of this joint is maintained by the Kapha Dosha and function is managed by the Vatha Dosha.

All disorders affecting joint are analyzed based on this disturbance in Dosha and treatment is decided as per them. As the basic plan of treatment the functionality of joint is improved by strengthening and nourishing treatments and exercises.

For structural compactness and lubrication different sorts of therapeutic modalities are also advocated.

Nutritional enhancement and reduction of weight must also be considered as conditions demand.
